BeFirst business plan 2019-24

Dear Barking and Dagenham Council,

On 21st May 2019 your Cabinet approved the business plan (2019-24) for its 'BeFirst' subsidiary regeneration group, which earmarks a number of council-owned sites for redevelopment. See - https://modgov.lbbd.gov.uk/Internet/ieDe...

The business plan itself (Appendix 1) was withheld from publication on the grounds of 'commercial sensitivity'.

I am requesting that you disclose a copy of the business plan with any commercially sensitive information redacted. Please make sure not to redact any of the proposed development sites as whilst disclosure of these may be politically sensitive (especially if these sites involve the demolition of council homes) they are not commercially sensitive.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Slattery

London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council
